              Moral Rights:

              The original creator of a work can transfer its economic right to another
              party, for instance, by license or assignment or by creating the work in
              the course of employment. In such events, the original creator cannot
              enjoy rewards or compensation from the use of their work by others.
              However, moral rights subsist with the original creators of a work
              after the creators have transferred their economic rights to some other
              party. These include the right to claim authorship of the work; and the
              right to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of,
              or other derogatory action, in relation to the work which would be
              prejudicial to the author’s honour or reputation. Moral rights always
              belong to the author of the work, regardless of whoever the owner of
              the copyright may be.
